If a human can jump almost 30ft, it seems entirely reasonable for a tiger to jump 33ft across and 2.5ft up, and I would be surprised if they couldn't do substantially more than that.
Considering the article is posted in the "Enterprise Management" section of the site, does anyone else find it strange that one of his favorite "sysadmin" tools is for CD ripping? Guess he's not a very busy sysadmin.
From my experience much of the Intel hatred in the Mac crowd was caused by Apple themselves with their anti-Intel campaigns (remember the toasted bunny suit?). In my mind these ads were targeted towards the not-so-knowledgeable crowd who thought Apple and Intel were directly competing companies (which they obviously aren't, Intel being a chipmaker and Apple being a computer-maker). Mac-thusiasts who bash Intel are almost certainly just repeating the same messages that Apple fed to them several years ago.
It seems to me that Apple is just doing what is necessary to ensure that they deliver a top-notch product to their customers, which is a fairly rare thing today. As far as I'm concerned, bravo to Apple for being aggressive enough to make such a decision.
...The "Places" menu is great. I was beginning to think that Linux was congenitally incapable of setting up the most important bit of UI on the system....
I would hardly say they "fell for it." They still had the video card for that time, and it kicked ass. The game was a bonus, as the prices on the video cards were still very competitive, and the video cards which came with the voucher run the game just fine.
"Somehow it seems unlikely the same rules will be applied to developing companies and poorer individuals in the United States."
Yeah, almost as unlikely as an article about MS on Slashdot not ending in a derogatory comment, even when they are cutting someone a break. If MS had demanded the full price for each installation, they would be bashed for beating up on a small country. If they cut them some slack, they are bashed for not being fair to everyone. Give it a rest.
Tolkien's estate has given publishers Harper Collins exclusive license over the sale of books, audio tapes and other merchandise related to the late Oxford academic.
This line does not imply to me that Harper Collins has exclusive rights to anything and everything with the tag of "J.R.R. Tolkien." It states that Harper Collins has rights to various forms of media and merchandise related to John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973). They can not hold rights to the name, as anyone can name their child in such a way as to produce that name, and anyone can legally change their name to match accordingly. Obviously one can't just start mass producing lunchboxes with "Lord of the Rings" plastered on the side, but they should have no legal rights over the name itself, only the name as relating to the specific person.
It is obvious, im my opinion, that neither Alberta Hot Rods nor celebrity1000.com have anything to do with John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973). Therefore it seems to me that the ruling is unjust.
It's the perfect excuse for getting home late! I can think of a lot of things one could do in 39 minutes...
Oh wait, these are geeks. I suppose they could... umm... play with their watch or something.

Actually, humans almost can jump the distance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_jump

That's because they got it from Apple: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/01q2/macos-x-final/ images/go-menu.jpg

More like customers would have never gotten any support (outside of newsgroup posts saying RTFM when there is no FM) in the first place.
Also FYI (37,000 km) / (67 hours) = 343.145285 mph ... pretty darn fast considering they were expecting an average of 285mph.

How much wood could a 500Ghz transistor chuck if a 500Ghz transistor could chuck wood?
